• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Night attacks under flare light

In 1965 in Dar Lac Province SVN we were ambushed by an NVA Regiment. Ths was when I was an advisor to the ARVn 2d ID/8th AC, the road ahead had to be cleared before we could break out. That night we experienced close air support by Hoboes/Spads dropping their ordnance under flare light supplied by "Puff ". Altho' I was a combat veteran from Korea I had never seen or experienced anything quite like close air support after dark. If you have never experienced dark in a jungle utterly devoid of artifical light, you have never seen dark. Under these conditions the old saying, "Can't see my hand in front of my face" is true .
